"I guess you always did know me pretty well Henry. Count me in." you say.
"Great! I knew you'd be game."
"Let's get going, I'm ready."

You, Henry and Jack enter his car and drive to some nondescript building. The ground floor resembles just a normal abandoned warehouse, but of course you three enter a secret room with an elevator that takes you to a lab area, then you pass through a gym area where you see quite a few ugly overly muscular humans doing some rigorous training while doing a lot of shouting and yelling A lot of them look like they have severe 'roid rage and that includes the females.

"Huh, sure they all look pretty, but can they fight?" you mockingly ask Henry.
"Well that's what we're going to find out. Now the arena area is through that door, you can just enter and the testing will begin. Jack and I will be watching from an upper room. I'll see you when you're ready."

Henry leaves with the rest of the humans and you're about to enter the arena, but a hand grabs you causing you pull away in a defensive stance. It's Jack.

"Don't fucking touch me Jack!" you growl.
"Sheesh, calm down there, I just have to tell you something. Something important."
"What Jack? I don't have time for your shit."
"Yeah, well you'll be thanking me later. You need to take this." Jack takes a bottle out of his jacket and hands it to you.
"What's this?"
"It's MY invention. Henry hasn't been telling you the entire truth. He's setting you up to be killed. He doesn't have any intention of letting you out that arena until one of his super soldiers kills you, and I guarantee it'll happen eventually. He's already got most of them hopped up to the point of being uncontrollable. He'll probably start increasing the dosage if you start winning against the initial barrage. However if you drink my invention you'll be able to survive. It's just like what Henry's been feeding his Super Soldiers, but without all the side effects. Surely you noticed how ugly and distorted all those subjects were. All he did was make alterations to his original Hyde formula instead creating something new from scratch like I did, yet he claims my invention isn't good enough."
"This all smells like bullshit Jack, but assuming you're telling the truth, why's Henry doing it and why in this way?"
"I dunno, because he's a Mad Scientist, and prone to be dramatic I suppose, its just one of our endearing qualities. Plus we really are testing this shit for the government, so its still good research even if it's doubling as murder. If you want deeper reasons the only other explanation I can give is he's ALWAYS been jealous of you. Yes, it's true he did admire you, but he was always jealous of your natural abilities which he had to get artificially, and even then it wasn't entirely successful as you well know. I can personally vouch for having to hear him rag on you over the years."

This all sounds pretty suspicious especially coming from Jack who's known for his double dealing and sneaky ways. The bottle might contain poison for all you know, or maybe he's just angry at Henry for snubbing his invention and he's using you as a subject to test it which may or may not be as great as he says. Still, Mad Scientist types have tried to fuck you over before; you can't help but wonder if Henry is planning what Jack's claiming.
